  1. Shazam! Some funny parts. Somewhat enjoyable. Better than most superhero movies. 4.5/10
  2. Today might be a make or break day for Canes v. Blue Jackets: Dawn of Justice. Need Smith and Calgary to win, the Leafs to chase Rask from the net for the rest of the series, and the RL Canes to have Mrazek play well.
  3. Beagle is really good at what he does. Also a terrific person. But he’s overpaid. About $1.5M per overpaid. But that’s free agency for ya.
  4. Glass Meh. Shyamalan is what he is. This movie is by no means good, but it’s a lot better than most of his outings. Which isn’t high praise. As usual, Bruce Willis sleepwalks through his performance. James McAvoy is the only reason to watch. But the movie is really poorly written.
  5. Sup gents. I have paid for all playoff teams to view scoring at the moment, so we don’t have to wait until tomorrow. Not able to see it yet, but should anytime.
  6. Just really, really happy that Ottawa fans didn’t lose out on Hughes. Tkachuk is a better choice than who they would have chosen this year at 4.
  7. Celeste. Such a cute little game. Bought The Witcher 3 cheap a week and a half ago. Still haven't booted it up.
  8. I still haven’t watched Frasier
  9. To me, I don’t know of a show that has been around for as long as Veep has that remained consistently funny. For me, I really liked Seinfeld and Cheers (and Cosby Show, but I don’t think I can watch that again, as much as I want to), and those always had me laughing, but Veep is so solid. Even The Office (finishing up season 7), which I’ve watched 3-4 times now, gets awful in season 8 and 9. Parks and Rec was good, but it wasn’t great for all 7 seasons. Didn’t start getting good until the tail end of season 2.
  10. As trades are still permitted, announcing that there will be some housekeeping in Carolina. While some roster players will not be going anywhere as they are in my long term plans (ie: Laine, Panarin, Pulock, Andersson, Dumba, Kotkaniemi, Johnsson, Hart), others are on the table. Certain prospects are also available, but I haven’t done a deep dive to determine who stays and who’s available. So I’ll listen on anyone. But the main roster player on the table is Kris Letang. Kris had 56 points this season in 65 games (with 16 goals). Always a beast come playoff time as well. Two most important pieces with this is that a) He doesn’t have a NMC/NTC; and b) His salary is only $3.625M for the next 3 years. Looking for picks and or prospects in return for Letang.
  11. Just finished at the gym. Feel like barfing. I suppose that’s a good thing.
  12. Veep S07E02 Not nearly as good as the season open but, as usual, had some great jokes thrown in. Selina: Dan f***ed you? What, were you wearing a full length mirror? “Amy, you’ve got some vomit on your moustache.” Tom: You really should have been there. You know, it’s one thing I’ve learned. In politics, a lot of the best stuff happens after hours. Selina: Oh is that so, Captain Morgan? Thank you so much for man-telling me that. Tom: I believe the word you’re fumbling is mansplaining. Jonah: I split the bill on all my dates. Why would I pay for a girl to get fatter? Those last two had me howling. Especially the mansplaining one. Two mansplaining jokes in one
  13. Exactly mine. The Jets are limping into the playoffs, the Leafs have defensive troubles, Carolina is Carolina, and Pittsburgh is fully healthy now.
  14. Why can’t I get a first round matchup like this?
  15. Missing Sam Lafferty on mine. Not like he’ll play, though.
  16. I got tackled in grade school a few times.
  17. Lose first wildcard spot on the last day of the season. Against winterhawks in the first round. 4th straight year with a first round exit.
  18. 6th and 7th overall. Battling it out for wildcard placement. Won’t happen, but I’m thinking this should be the Eastern Conference Final matchup.
  19. Haven’t read through the thread, but not sure how this makes sense for Buffalo. While a few years ahead in development, Buffalo already has Ukko-Pekka in the pipeline, who’ll likely be sharing starting duty in Rochester next season. If all goes well, he’ll be ready in 2-4 years time for full time NHL duty. Demko isn’t a game breaker at the moment and wouldn’t speed up their rebuild and suddenly turn them into playoff contenders, so no reason to part with Ristolainen.
  20. That’s also 15 forwards. Pretty sure you can’t carry that many

  22. The Guilty This is how you make a movie. Must watch.
